To everyone that took the time to help
me discover the facts surrounding the death of Lance
Corporal George Barnes on November 22, 1968 RVN, I want to
thank you all from the bottom of my heart. I guess
2009 was the year that my need for closure forced me to
confront the 41 years of loss and pain that came with
George's death. With the answers that all of you helped me
to find, I was able to finally and lovingly pack away all of
George's pictures and trinkets, take a deep breath, and get
on with my life. I thank you for that, and I thank you
for showing me what it means to be a Marine. Each and
every one of you are heroes. It was my privilege to be
able to talk with you via emails. I will always be
proud of George, but I am also proud of all of you, the men
of Echo Company 2/7. If I've forgotten anyone, my
apologies. I want to wish you all a Happy New Year for
2010! Thanks again,
Mary Compeau

I am in
Jacksonville NC visiting with my son Michael for the
Christmas Holiday's. well all of us went to the PX today and
I saw a bunch of old time Marine's sitting at a table
selling items for the Marine Purple Heart Association, I get
over to the guy who was running it and started looking
around at the table. He gave my sons baby a little gift and
we started talking. He asked if I was in Vietnam. I said yes
and then it started.
I asked who he was with with and tells
me Echo 2/7 from 65 to 67. I said I with Echo 2/7 also at
that same time. and then he told me I looked familiar. My
heart stopped and you could have knocked me over with a
feather. He was the corpsman that medevaced me out when I
was hurt at Dong Ha, we shot the bull for two hours. What a
time we had.
it was Doc Verl Matthews he told me to
tell you guy's hello and said he had a great time at the
reunion and hollered at me for not being there.
I WILL BE AT THE NEXT ONE!

My Brothers,
It was Christmas 1967.
E-2/7 was security for a Marine Mobile 155 Battery
somewhere between Hai Van Pass and Phu Bai.
We were set back a couple hundred meters off Highway
1 and were running day time patrols and night ambushes in
the AO. Christmas Eve my squad ran a
short patrol just outside the wire not more than 2 clicks
out. We were supposed to go farther, but
I made the decision to stay close. After
all, it was Christmas Eve. No contact ...
It was truly a "Peace on Earth" kind of night.
We crept back into the company area about 0500 hrs.
It's Christmas morning and all is right with the
world.
There is a point in writing this one
paragraph operations summary. Only days
before, several guys from the company were chosen to take
that infamous journey south on Highway 1 to Da Nang.
I am certain, as God made little green killing
machines, every Marine and Doc remembers that the Highway 1
journey was dangerous as hell. Now you
ask! Why would anyone agree to make the
trip?
Well, my bothers! Bob
Hope was having his fabled USO Christmas Show in Danang.
So about a dozen or so of us jumped on the 6X6 with
its sand-bagged deck, M-60 on the canvas roof and sped off
to see the living legend himself, Bob Hope.
Like a lot of you, I remembered watching
Mr. Hope perform for decades.
His visits to often dangerous places
included fire zones and other shit holes most people would
never be aware. So I had the chance of a
lifetime to see a man I knew only from television, but
always respected.
And I knew, he was here for me and the
others fighting in Vietnam. Wow!
It gives be goose bumps to write these
words.
So we made the trek and arrived an hour
an a half late. We took sniper fire at
two different points en route which caused the delay ... NO
ONE HURT. Just another day in the Nam.
We grabbed directions on the way from point to point
and eventually made it to the show. As
the 6-by slammed into the make shift stage area, a cloud of
brown Nam powder arose and ingloriously announced our
presence. We looked like Hell.
Apparently, Mr. Hope noticed.
He stopped, then turned towards the truck.
He hesitated, smiled and said,
"Glad you men could make it.
Welcome Marines"! Can
you believe it? Bob Hope actually spoke
to us.
It brings tears to my eyes 42 years
later.
If I may quote another great man, "Where
do we find such men"? Yes!
Bob Hope was such a man.
He is the model of selflessness, we all aspire to.
Maybe he is one of the reasons, I became a United
States Marine.
My special thanks to Doc Jeff for
sending this message and Col Tolleson for finding it and
realizing the importance of the discovery.
These two men are what leadership is all about.
Anyway my brothers ... Merry Christmas
to you all and to all a good night.
Thanks! Warm regards,
Mike Watson "Semper Fidelis"

ENROUTE TO THE INSERT POINT I REMEMBER THAT WE ALWAYS
CARRIED A BAG OF GEEDUNK AND EXTRA CIGARETTES. JUST AS WE
LANDED AND BEFORE HE DISEMBARKED I HANDED THE SACK OF
GEEDUNK TO HIM. "WHAT IS THIS HE ASKED. I LOOKED AT HIM
AND SAID "MERRY CHRISTMAS SOLDIER." ON THE GROUND HE TURNED
AND SAID TO ME, "MAJOR, I ALWAYS HEARD THAT MARINES WERE
AMAZING. MERRY CHRISTMAS.

Many of you know that last Friday, I
went to the Memorial Service held for the 13 Marines
who were killed in 2/8 in Afghanistan. There are now 14, as
last Friday they took a member off of life support at Brooke
Army Hospital in Texas, and he passed away Tuesday. This is
very rewarding but also very sad, as I give out the Purple
Heart Medallions to the next of kin. I get to know them
closely. The 1500 Marines from 2/6 going over this next week
as part of the surge. We ate breakfast with them last
summer, so I know them very well.

Two Camp Pendleton generals well
versed in counterinsurgency operations in Iraq have been
tapped to lead the Marine Corps' role in the troop
escalation in Afghanistan, Defense Department officials said
Monday. Maj. Gen. Richard Mills will command
Camp Pendleton's I Marine Expeditionary Force Forward in
Afghanistan and have responsibility for
all Marine forces there.
One of Mills' deputies, Brig.
Gen. Joseph Osterman, will serve as his
battleground chief.
Mills has commanded the base's
25,000-member 1st Marine Division for the last
several months, and Osterman earlier this year was named to
head a more than 4,000-troop Marine Expeditionary
Brigade. As the Marine Corps scrambles to add
9,000 of its troops to Afghanistan by March, that
brigade has been redesignated as the I Marine
Expeditionary Force Forward.
Joining Mills and Osterman are about 800 Camp Pendleton
Marines who make up a headquarters group.
Mills is in Afghanistan preparing for the arrival of those
troops.
The Pentagon said that about 1,500 Marines from North
Carolina's Camp Lejeune will make up the initial
surge of leatherneck forces. Those troops will operate
under the umbrella of the 1st
Battalion, 6th Marine
Regiment expected to arrive in Afghanistan around
Christmas. That group will be followed early next year
by a 6,200-member regimental combat team that will include
an unspecified number of troops from Camp
Pendleton, base officials said. Once all those troops
have arrived, along with others who already had
been slated for Afghanistan next year, the Marine Corps will
have about 19,500 men and women in the
south-central Asian nation. The vast majority of the Marines
will be stationed in the Helmand province, where the
anti-government Taliban has re-established a
stronghold in recent months. Once there, military
commanders said, troops will work to clear Taliban fighters
from villages and the countryside and then stay in those
areas to prevent their return. Marine forces in
Afghanistan launched just such an effort last week,
partnering with Afghan forces to clear insurgent forces in
a Helmand valley. A Marine Corps statement
issued Monday said that the operation yielded more than nine
weapons caches of various sizes, and the combined
force has found homemade explosives, rocket-propelled
grenades and mortars and several hundred
components used to make roadside bombs.
Resistance by
insurgent forces has been sporadic, the statement
said.
The buildup was ordered by President Barack Obama last week
and is intended to provide a sufficient number
of troops to remain in the villages and countryside to
keep the Taliban from returning. By this time next year, the
U.S. and its NATO allies will have about 148,000
troops in Afghanistan. Camp Pendleton's role in
the fight will be its largest since base troops helped
lead the invasion in the fall of 2001 following the
9/11 terror attacks. After toppling the Taliban
government in early 2002, a very small number of
locally based troops were assigned to Afghanistan as the
Marine Corps focused on the invasion of Iraq and subsequent
occupation of that country's Anbar province. It was
there that Mills gained much of his counterinsurgency
experience. The New York native served as commander of
Marine and U.S. Army ground forces in Anbar from
October 2007 until January of this year.
Osterman served in Iraq from April 2005 to March 2006 as an
adviser to the Iraqi army. In June 2006,
Osterman was named director of the Marine Corps
Expeditionary Warfare School. He was named assistant
commander of the 1st Marine Division and head of the
1st Marine Expeditionary Brigade in July. As thousands
of Camp Pendleton forces prepare for Afghanistan, the
first wave of troops from the base's 1st Battalion, 5th
Marine Regiment that has been in the Helmand
province's since the spring recently
arrived home.
By Christmas, all of that unit's approximately 1,200 troops
are expected home from Helmand's Nawa district.

County Times in San Diego is passed to our Members and

Each year, my Elks Lodge busses
virtually every veteran who can travel from the RI Veterans
Home to our lodge for dinner. CG RI Army Guard lands
on the lawn in an Apache chopper; there's an Army band,
color guard, a little speaking program, and we present a
gift (check). This year some middle-school-age kids
from a local church group volunteered to serve the dinners.
The crowd numbers 250-275, individually plated dinners, so
their offer was much appreciated. Well, one of the
young lads shows up in long hair (no problem) a tie-dyed
t-shirt (still no problem), and a US flag tied over his head
like a babushka (BIG problem). The first time I loaded
his serving cart with dinners I gave him a look. He
didn't get it. The next time, I took him aside and
told him that his head gear was #1 probably offensive to the
men we were trying to honor, and #2, even if it weren't,
"wearing the US flag as an item of apparel" is specifically
prohibited by federal law. Well he told his chaperon,
who ran to the Elk in charge wanting to know who' the guy
who was harassing the kids. He came to me, I told him
my side. His solution was, "The kid's trying to help.
Let's let it go for today." To which I replied, "Fine.
You replace me here in the kitchen, because I'm going out to
the banquet room to straighten out that kid (I meant
verbally) in front of everyone. Someone has to teach
these kids." Well, they know me, so the next time the
kid came into the kitchen, there was no babushka, but he
switched to another guy to pick up his dinners. The
clincher is that afterward, we served the kids sodas and
dessert, and the chaperon approaches to tell me, "Billy's
hair is always very clean and he doesn't do anything
disrespectful to the flag. He just likes to wear
it"...as if it's an issue for the fashion police.
Well, let's just say it ended badly for her. Some of
that stuff is never going to go away for us.
Semper Fi,
Tony

Thank you again for the great
listing of my website. It has been a vehicle for the
greatest number of good friends I have ever had, and
virtually all Marines. Who would have thought the oath I
took in 1956 would continue to positively influence my life
all these decades later. I owe almost everything I ever
accomplished to my 6 years in the USMCR and USMC.
And a great story on the Ontos. Saw them fire with us on a
night FPL demo at Hansen back in 1959. Don't know much about
the little tracked terror but the three crew must have been
driver, loader and gunner. Somewhat unwieldy in that the
loader had to get out of the vehicle to do his thing. I
believe the guns were electrically fired. Anyway, at that
Hansen exercise one of the breaches had not achieved a
proper detent and when the loader got back out and grabbed
the handle to close it, it fired. Of course we all know what
goes on behind a 106 so it was a sad end for that Marine.
Thank you again!

Once again, I stand and applaud the
edition of the Echo Company Two-Seven Tooter. The land mines
section, in particular, 'hit home'.
When I was a patient at the Veterans
Hospital, in West Haven Connecticut, I could see the change
in types of casualties that were being admitted to the
hospital. i.e. for a while it seemed "bouncing Betty's" were
the weapons of choice, but mines and amputations was a
constant. We, as soldiers, did what we had to do in order to
survive. Thank you for letting others know about the
obstacles that accompany war.

We Vietnam Vets had the
backing of the people who really mattered, our families, our
friends and the bigger portion of the so-called Silent
Majority. It's just too bad that those who reviled us back
then are now our children and grandchildren college
professors and el-hi teachers. Not to mention our elected
and appointed so-called leaders. Skip Johnson
A Thank You to Vietnam Vets from
a Marine in Iraq
A guy gets time to think over
here and I was thinking about all the support we get from
home. Sometimes it's overwhelming. We get care
packages at times faster than we can use them.
There are boxes and boxes of toiletries and snacks lining
the center of every tent; the generosity has been
amazing. So, I was pondering the question: "Why
do we have so much support?"
In my opinion, it came down to
one thing: Vietnam. I think we learned a lesson, as a
nation, that no matter what, you have to support the troops
who are on the line, who are risking everything.
We treated them so poorly back then. When they
returned was even worse. The stories are nightmarish of what
our returning warriors were subjected to. t is a
national scar, a blemish on our country, an embarrassment to
all of us.
After Vietnam, it had time to sink in.
The guilt in our collective consciousness grew. It
shamed us. However, we learned from our mistake.
Somewhere during the late 1970's
and into the 80's, we realized that we can't
treat our warriors that way. So, starting during the
Gulf War, when the first real opportunity arose to stand up
and support the troops, we did. We did it to
support our friends and family going off to war. But
we also did it to right the wrongs from the Vietnam era.
We treated our troops like the heroes they were,
acknowledged and celebrated their sacrifice, and
rejoiced at their homecoming instead of spitting on
them.
And that support continues today
for those of us in Iraq. Our country knows that it must
support us and it does. The lesson was learned in
Vietnam and we are better because of it.
Everyone who has gone before is a
hero. They are celebrated in my heart. I think
admirably of all those who have gone before me. From
those who fought to establish this country in the late
1770's to those I serve with here in Iraq. They
have all sacrificed to ensure our freedom.
But when I get back, I'm going to
make it a personal mission to specifically thank every
Vietnam Vet I encounter for their sacrifice.
Because if nothing else good came from that terrible
war, one thing did. It was the lesson learned on how
we treat our warriors. We as a country learned
from our mistake and now treat our warriors as heroes,
as we should.
I am the beneficiary of their
sacrifice. Not only for the freedom they, like
veterans from other wars, ensured, but for how well
our country now treats my fellow Marines and I. We are
the beneficiaries of their sacrifice.
Semper Fidelis,
Major Brian P. Bresnahan

Dear Marine Brothers,
Happy Thanksgiving to all!!
My wife Nancy and I were visiting our
daughter for the Thanksgiving holiday in Portland, Oregon.
It was a nice day and the kids had to work and my grandson
had to go to school so my wife and I decided to take a taxi
downtown to window shop and have a nice lunch. As we walked
about we came into the city center where we were approached
by this short chubby chick with what I believed to be
pamphlets and decals in her hand. She wanted to hand me this
decal of our beloved American flag backwards, upside down,
plastered with a peace symbol across the front. I refused
her handout and gave her a stern look. At first she seemed
taken aback by my response, then she noticed my Marine Corps
lapel collar pin. She withdrew her offer and looked my wife
and said ”oh, I see, he’s a repeat offender”. She looked at
her and said “Yes he is. He has been repeatedly offending
the likes of you and people like you for over 40 years by
protecting our country, standing in front of our flag, and
defending idiots like you and your right of freedom to do
what you’re doing”. The protester then walked away. It
seems this type of behavior never ends, same old stuff we
dealt with when coming back from Nam. Just had to share this
story with you.
Happy Thanksgiving to all my Marine
brothers (and repeat offenders).
